Ive got the same problem. All u have to do is get sumthin to hold the lever up and go lift the hood. I have to go jy searching for a new lever. Or if u have two ppl, u lift the lever and he'll lift the hood.

I had this problem too, you need to pull the release and have someone pull up on the hood at the same time. go to the JY and get yourself another handle and cable assembly if that is in fact the problem. On mine, the little piece of plastic behind the handle that holds the cable to the dash was broken. So make sure the next one you get doesn't have any cracks or anything in it.

I tried the two people thing. The hood doesnt budge.. :/ Any other suggestions?

any info you can give us as to the sympyoms? does the releas pull really easy, but the hood doesn't open, is anything in the front end severely bent? did someone weld it shut? did the release break off under the dash?

this will allow us to help more.

I had that problem with my b12. my method was to roll the window down and get out of the car. pull the lever and give a good rap on the ds corner of the hood and it would pop open. other than that i have not a clue why it wont budge
